Flowers are blooming now that it’s in the 80s instead of the 100s during the days and the cool 60s at night. There’s also a distinct barnyard [...]

Finally, Ivan has returned home from Data Doctors. Poor Ivan was infected with a boot sector virus in the registry which caused him to run extremely slow. The virus probably came through an e-mail attachment or something I downloaded from the Internet. Yes, I run antivirus software, somehow this one escaped notice. Data Doctors armed [...]
